You're right there are systems which do allow the temporary deactivation of the tone but given that
radios today have encoding as a standard function I'd think this is no longer necessary.

Don't repeaters that have tones always use them anyways? I don't really see
much reason to disable them if systems already use them. I know a local one
used to have a code for doing such, which I used a few times on my old rig
when the PL would get messed up and I didn't have assistance to change it. I
heard some systems only use it at night for some reason. I've known of a
couple repeaters that had different courtesy beeps at night, not sure what
the point of changing at night does to the repeater besides a different
beep.
